Whew finally I'm uploading more arts... I dunno why I've been so slack lately. Trying to use DA at home is a NIGHTMARE, it's so slow and the pages never load half the time so, maybe that's why >_>

This is actually something I did for a short art class I was taking ... finished it over a week ago, maybe even 2 weeks ago o.o time flies by again! Damn you, Time!

We had to pick a random photo and draw 2 versions, a true to life one and a really warped one. Haven't got a pic of the warped one yet but when I do I'll upload.

Um... I'm not exactly sure who it is. I want to say it's John Belushi, but with the goggles on I can't tell for sure. Anybody know? I picked the photo because I thought it was a hoot! And very different to what I normally draw. Kinda confronting even, which is cool.

Oh yeah, don't ask about the title. I just have no idea. Seemed like the thing to say.

All drawn with an 8B pencil. It is now a sad little pencil stub. My poor pencil. All the innuendo heaped upon me by my perverted friend while I mourned having worn my pencil down to a nub >_>

Sizing is a bit smaller than A2, but bigger than A3.. somewhere in between

Dude! This is some inspiring work! I am not a guy who is normally into photo realism, But I love this! And yes It is definitely Jim Belushi. This is a very famous From the little known Spielberg film 1941. (I think?) Anyway, I like that you have of course done great job capturing a very realistic likeness of Belushi while really using some nice person style and technique. You used some really nice soft cross hatching around the cheek and frown line area and then up into the goggles. I think what you did w/ his nose it incredible! All the little pores and then the softness of the shadow. Your style it very tight but not so tight that you lose the artists hand! You seemed to have focused on capturing him but you made some really nice decisions as far as how to show light, shadow and mid tones. Rather than just copy the photo you came up w/ beautiful ways to show the information that makes this drawing yours! Great work! PS: MASK NOT TOUCHING NOSE? I have no idea what the issue is there? I see nothing wrong w/ that area of the drawing or anything else!
